Poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-murky dark orange wood color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. Some light lace ran here and there.
The aroma had a nice level piney sweetness playing with a some floral to bittersweet hoppy zest. Light white pepper particles and a clever little citrus bite on the back end play with the overall balance.
The flavor was moderately floral sweet bringing in the hoppy zest, white pepper and citrus pretty nice. Aftertaste was zesty hopped with a stiff piney-ness coming in for a quaint balance.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt on par. Nice zesty mobility along my tongue without anything distracting. Zesty to bitter piney and floral finish.
Overall, very nicely done AIPA well worthy of having again.

Poured from a 1 pint 6oz Bomber. I can now buy this in Canada.
Pours a hazy golden amber with a thick white head and tons of sticky lacing.
Nice hoppy nose a real nice IPA that is all i need to say after over 1300 reviews.

L: Pours a hazy gold color, with a fairly thin 1-finger head that dissipates rather quickly, leaving average lacing.

S: Decent citrus nose upfront, with some malt.

T/F: Definitely hop-forward, with a strong citrus-hop flavor dominating the front, but it has a nice malt back-bone that results in a nicely, but not overly, bitter finish. Overall medium body with an appropriate level of carbonation.

O: Very nice, well balanced IPA. The look and smell is on the average side, but it more than makes up for it with an excellent flavor and feel.
